1984 Michael Jackson Hard Cover Book By Stewart Regan Looking through the 50+ pages of this Greenwich House, England published book brings the reader up with a start once more. Everyone changes as they age, but it is amazing to see the pictures of this then twenty-five year old international superstar, and photos of a much younger Michael with the Jackson 5 and compare them to pictures taken within the last few years.

Without a doubt, this man had talent beyond most performers in singing, composing, and dancing. Some critic once wrote that Michael’s voice had a desperate passionate quality to it. His energy and freshness never quit and seemed boundless.

This book is not an in depth look into Michael Jackson’s life. It celebrates his early years as lead singer of the Jackson 5 and his staggering solo career. For the fan, it is a treasure of photographs and stories about his songs, and video performances. And it reinforces a line from his favorite story, Peter Pan which says, All children, except one, grow up.

The book is in very good vintage condition without markings or writings on its pages, with the exception of the first inside page, which has a Mom’s Happy Easter greeting to her daughters and is dated 1984. There is wear, scuffing of the hard cover at the corners, but the binding is strong and intact and there are no dog-ears or tears to the pages.
 

Elvis, Johnny Cash Original Elmer Williams Photo Framed This is a glossy photograph print that was made famous by the Nashville freelance photographer Elmer Williams. Between the years 1954 and 1959, Williams captured many performers and soon to be big stars on film. Photos taken of Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, Elvis and Johnny Cash by Williams (some as album covers) can be found on the web with people having been cropped out and sizes changed, or no dates or names or credit to the photographer.

The printed date on this titled and dated Elmer Williams photograph is December 22, 1957 and was taken backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditiorium. This print measures 8 inches by 10 3/16 inches to the edge. There is a white border of 3/8 inch at the top and two sides. There is a 1 inch white border at the bottom of the print which has the names, Johnny Cash & Elvis, December 22, 1957 and Photography By Elmer Williams. We have kept the photograph in the same 10 1/4 inch by 12 inch frame that it was in when we purchased it at an estate sale in Florida.

Unfortunately, today, anyone can download a picture or print and run it through a printer. We, too, have put in wordage so as not to have this picture freely downloaded. The wording in our description above is the exact wording the buyer will have on the Elmer Williams photo. The photograph is in great condition and would make a terrific addition to an Elvis, Johnny Cash collection.
